Wolcott’s Favorite Expression.

“I am not a lawyer, but from the standpoint of a business man it looks like this,” is a favorite expression of Senator Eben H. Wolcott, of Wolcott, who was at theDenison yesterday, says last Friday’s Indianapolis Sentinel. Senator Wclcott made himself famous during the last session of the legislature by always prefacing every speech he made on any subject with that little introduction until the other senators and especially the reporters came to look for it every time he rose from his seat. Senator Wolcott got into an argument with a man in the lobby of the Denison last night and resorted to his usual expression, whish is a part of his statesmanship. A friend of the senator who had not seen him come into the hotel was standing close enough to hear the conversation and he recognized this little expression of the Tenth district statesman, although he had not known his voice. “I’ll het, lift » the friend, “that I,just heard Senator Wolcott speak,” and turnipg around he greeted the senator but did not explain how he happened to tarn so suddenly.
